Seven Arrows Elementary School

Seven Arrows Elementary is proud to celebrate the graduation of our Class of 2026!

This class are a resilient bunch. They were in kindergarten when a globsl pandemic disrupted our lives. They are also all survivors from the Palisades fire last year that tore through our community, including many of their own homes. They moved with us to a temporary campus and again to a new home in Santa Monica, rebuilding community every step of the way. Today, we celebrated who this class became through all of it.

Thank you to our incredible faculty, who gave these students their very best through every challenge. And to the families who held this community together.

A beautiful string quartet, student performers and heartfelt speeches made for a moving ceremony. It was unforgettable.

Congratulations, Class of 2026. We are so proud of you!

We had the honor of hosting Yousafzai at Seven Arrows, and watching her speak to our students about ethical leadership, ambition, and pursuing values-driven work. The questions our kids asked showed they’re already thinking like changemakers.

This tremendous opportunity came to us suddenly, bringing her vision and inspiration to our community.

Seven Arrows is proud too continue engaging with leaders from around the world with the aim of empowering our students to become actors in their own future, inspiring hope through action.

This morning at Kuyam, we were treated to something truly special! A live jazz performance and demonstration with guest musicians Felix Pollard on drums, Del Atkins on bass, Melvin “Maestro” Wellington Lightford III on piano, and our very own amazing music teacher Norma LaTuchie on flute.

Our kindergartners took the stage and sang ‘Take the A Train’ backed by this incredible band. Kids danced, grooved, and soaked in the magic of authentic jazz.

The musicians spoke about improvisation and how the freedom to create and go with the flow carries into every area of life.
